Dry Jerk Rub

Description: This is a great Jamaican Rub recipe that is nice with poultry and pork. You can adjust the spicyness by increasing or decreasing the amount or type of crushed peppers. For a "not so hot" rub, use crushed red peppers. For a "really hot" rub, use dried scotch bonnet peppers.

Ingredients:

• 2 tablespoons kosher salt
• 2 teaspoons brown sugar
• 2 teaspoons garlic powder
• 2 teaspoons onion powder
• 2 teaspoons ground allspice
• 1 teaspoon crushed dried hot pepper
• 1 teaspoon dried chives
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 1 teaspoon ground ginger
• 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves

Steps:

1. Place all ingredients together and mix well.
2. Coat Meat with mixture and rub well into meat.
